Do you research mate, racism wasn't around at the time of Adam and Eve.do your research and you'll find out the first historical evidence of racism occurred at the end of the 16th century with the start of the slave trade from Africa to Britain and to America. It divided people into races and decide that Black Africans were considered an inferior race.there were white serfs in medieval times before the new world was discovered...there were also black slave drivers...theres this show on over here where celebrities trace back their lineage and this black tv chef found out he was descended from oneDon't know about that homie, I would say racism has been around as long as different races have been around, as people are always going to have some inclination to prefer themselves and those who resemble them as superior. And there is evidence of racism in recorded history before the 16th century.However, I do agree with you that it was definitely taken to the extreme level in the transatlantic slave trade in that black = slave and white = free. Because in previous forms of slavery it was usually the result of a lost battle or war, or extreme poverty, rather than one's racial background.

lol @ Adam and Eve. I suggest you do your research. The 16th century is pretty recent in the grand scheme of things. If you want to go back even further lets examine why we have the modern race divide for real.Africa is the cradle of human life, you agree? And don't give me that christian bullshit we know it's not true.Anyway, Africa = origin of human life. Original man = black.Albinism = lite skin, scared the original man. Light skin seen as sin or monstrosity = banished.Light skinned people migrate north to Europe, thus creating continent of light skinned individuals, aka white people. Apparently racism was around at the beginning of man, only it was in the favor of blacks...Well, look how that original act of fear and prejudice turned out for them...Yes, you're done for the day. Re-read if you have to. I provided a nice concise description racism at the beginning of humanity for you, you have no reason to retort with anything but a cosign.
its a natural response, to protect your tribe from others. your initial reaction would be to fight the other tribe to protect your own. its only now since we have become so smart that things like racism have become a problem. we beleive we are no longer animals so we have invented higher thoughts such as love, compassion etc.
Well I'm glad this thread sufficiently backfired on numb nuts, what an idiotic concept to believe in.Jrome, nobody is above influence. To say anything about a term like racism is going to be relative to the time we live in. It will constantly change and constantly be held in different lights. Just this evening I heard a bunch of blacks whining on CNN about how Obama is no differen tthan Jesse Jackson and there's no such thing as an uncle tom. We still deal with a wide spectrum of racial beliefs, from yours to mine to momo's to some uppity nig nong who writes for the huffington post. It's just what we live with and will always live with in America.
stop it lyin' brian you haven't acquired anything except self doubt and bitterness towards ohers, kind of like your time in high school
